and babies fairer than apple blossoms.

1t IS necessary that everything
about lady's toilet should fit
in, the one with the other.
An ill-htting glove would alb
solutely destroy the effect of
the handsomest dress.
And the consciousness that
you were wearing poor pair
of stockings would surely make
you wretched.
The Hosiery department in
our establishment has received
unusual attention.
We no longer go into the
market and buy as we can from
the goods offered us.
We have established our own
standard after thorough study
of the ladies' wants, and the
Hosiery we offer you this sea-
son is far ahead of anything
within your reach heretofore.
They are the best products
Of the best mills of England,
France and Germany.
They are not at all the same
goods that you find in every
store.
They are specially made for
us, and have all the points Of
excellence our experience has
shown us to be necessary.
We have the very highest
quality Of Wool and Cashmere
Hose, suitable for gentlemen,
ladies and children.
Novelties, of course-Lisle,
Cotton and Silk-in abundant
variety.
Notwithstanding the greatly
increased value of our goods,
you will not find increased
prices. Our large purchases
direct from the manufacturers
enable us to keep the prices
down while the value of the
goods is increased.
We are offering lovely Cash
mere Hose for ladies as low as
50 cts, and they are very nice
and durable.
For IS cts. you can have a
finer,
Still better for SI.oo
And the best made for SIPS.
These are in black and col
ors, and represent in reality the
most value for the money of
anything ever offered you.
Our ladies' Fleeced Hose, in
black or colors and of unusual
quality, will attract the atten-
ton of every lady who prefers
them to all-wool hose.
We have them as low as IS
Cts,
Excellent for 81 Cts.
And the best for 50 cts.
Atwood, in black or colors,
we offer from IS cts. to Is cts.
The greatest bargain of all
is our famous fast black, that
we guarantee will not grow
rusty, and will not soil your
garments or person. These we
sell for 81 I-2 cts, per single
pair, and we give you
THREE PAIRS for SI.oo.
Now a word for the boys:
All healthy boys like to bang
around.
If there is anything that a
boy really delights in it is to
have his clothing hang together
after the hardest usage. He
don't like to face his mother
with big hole in his stocking.
Well, boys, let us tell you
what we have for you.

For some time, 1t is said. there have
been rumors of revolutionary con-
spiracy widespread among the aristoc-
racy of Russia, having for its object
the removal of Gar Alexander III.
and the crowning in his stead of the
eldest son of Alexander III. by his NOR
ganatic wife, the Princess Dolgorouki.
Failing in that the efforts would be
centered on putting the young Dol
gorouki in succession TO the Gar in
stead of the present Czarevitch, the
last named Prince being both an in
valid and an imbecile. Young Dol
gorouki is lad of splendid character
and attainments, who would at once
give Russia a liberal constitutional
government In the eyes of the peo-
pie there is little or no blemish on his
parentage. The Dolgorouki family is
one of the noblest in Russia, its mem
bers having been great Princes before
the Romanoffs were heard of.

A PARTY of workmen in making an
excavation near Cedar Springs, north
of Dallas. Ten, few days ago at sew
elni feet below the surface found a
medal with the following inscription
upon it: "Conf1adia de Nuestra Sonora
del Carmen de Valencia. This being
interpreted means Society of our
Lady of Carmen of Valencia This is
medal worn by a society organized
in the city of Valencia, Spain, in honor
of Count Carmen. From the position
in which the medal was found it had
evidently been there for great num-
Der of years. 1t was probably worn by
some of the early Spanish invaders,
and may have been in the present
place since the days of Cortez.
